That's not what I see here in Seattle. Yes, the supermarkets are monopolistic, but they are still significantly less expensive than going to a butcher, a baker, etc.

It's mostly an issue in rural and suburban areas. The grocery store closest to me feels like it's price gouging (Safeway) , and I try and go to other grocery stores for bigger trips like Wegmans or H-Mart.

Meat is especially bad, like $10/lb for ground chicken bad. Meanwhile at H-Mart it's $3/lb.

I see. I do live in an urban area these days. Anything specialized is overpriced (or maybe not overpriced, but expensive).
